Senator Chris Dodd statement on the health care reform vote

"The fight for health care reform has lasted nearly a century and frustrated Presidents and legislators of both parties. But [Sunday] we have won this fight on behalf of the American people. This vote makes it clear that scare tactics and the special interests are not match for the call of history and the need for change. No matter who they are or where they live or what they do for a living or have in the bank, every American family deserves good health care. And, with this historic legislation, they will be able to get it."
